The accused, Tejbhan Singh (20) and Vijay Singh (26) reached the bank located near Danish Nagar area on Monday. They offered a few jewellery in the branch to be mortgaged against the loan, said police. However, when the bank officials examined those ornaments they found that all the jewellery was made of some other metal and not of gold as accused had claimed.
